Using the Shift‑invoked context menu the 7-zip (25.01) GUI freezes (opening a zip archive). Also other windows cannot be accessed anymore. I can still close the 7-zip windows via the taskbar icon to continue working.
However, the 7-zip GUI is fully functional when using the normal context menu and choosing 'Show more options'.
This failure seems introduced with some Windows 11 patch and hardly seems a 7-zip bug. However, perhaps the issue can also be worked around in the 7-zip code.
I wanted to have this at least documented and would like to know whether other users can reproduce the problem.
